| 1. | Policy CS1 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy states that the Council will look favourably towards new development unless the adverse effects of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits. Saved Policy HOU7 (criteria (A) & (C )of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that new development must not be significantly detrimental to the form character and setting of the settlement and the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers and saved Policy HOU17 states that sub-division of plots will be resisted where it would lead to development out of character and scale with the surroundings. The height and forward projection of the proposed dwelling and its proximity to the boundary will have a significant adverse effect on the outlook from the adjoining dwelling to the south. In addition to this the narrowness of the plot in comparison with the existing houses in the terrace will result in a development that will be out of character and scale with the surroundings. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of Policy CS1 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy and saved Policies HOU7 (criteria (A) & (C) and HOU17 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 2. | The proposal encroaches significantly on the front garden area of No.166 where two trees subject of a Tree Preservation Order were recently felled, and consent for that felling was subject to specified replacements. The proposed development is incompatible with the required replacement trees (or acceptable alternatives) and thus results in the loss of two trees of appropriate eventual size and spread, to the detriment of amenity and the local streetscape. The proposal is thus contrary to development plan (Core Strategy) Policies CS9 (a & b) and CS11 (e - h); National Planning Policy Framework paragraphs 127 (a & b) and 170 (a); and Draft Local Plan Part 2 Policy HS11-dp (2 & 3). |
| 3. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): In determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above. |
